last friday I saw a buy of about 2500 $20 options that were over $2–today they were halved–then today almost 4800 more options were bought–keep in mind that these strikes only had about 80 to 150 calls of open interest. Who the heck is coughing up the dough for such short term calls?–they must feel the FED meeting will surprise–they must know something–cause this meeting is very, very, well telgraphed/previewed–I guess the big surprise would be if they indicated no rate rise in December…if not that, then maybe the statement will be so timid–only 10 bill a month expected–and so hedged with caveats–that the $ will sell off and gold will rally…??? beats me-!
